Live comments

  • 0' - The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Japan to score. At the same time, Costa Rica does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Shuichi Gonda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' - Daniel Chacon needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 15' - The travelling Costa Rica supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Youstin Salas has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' - Costa Rica started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.

  • 42' - It’s a booking for Costa Rica player. Anthony Contreras gets a Yellow card.
  • 44' - The referee shows Japan player a Yellow card on 44.
  • 46' - Takuma Asano has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ayase Ueda on 46 minute.
  • 51' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Costa Rica winning 100% of all matches.
  • 56' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
